Comic sensation Kevin Bridges had thousands of fans in stitches with an amazing new stand up show which included comparing Donald Trump to a ranting taxi driver.

The record breaking Scot wowed a 12000 strong crowd to launch an incredible 19 night run at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow over the next month.

And he had every one of them howling with laughter after reflecting on the three years since he last played the clydeside venue, admitting that with Trump becoming president, its hard for a comedian to add anything funnier than that.

He then joked: "Everything Donald Trump has said I have heard before from a Glasgow taxi driver. 'see these immigrants, I'd build a wall.'"

The Clydebank born comedian enjoyed a triumphant return to Glasgow with a blockbuster show which had the whole crowd in tears of laughter from start to rousing finish.

Able to offer absolutely perfect observations of Scots working class life and culture like no comedian since Billy Connolly , Bridges was in top form as he observed the changes in his own life from his childhood home to a successful career and west end of Glasgow life.

With killer one liners, brilliant slants on life and perfectly constructed stories, Bridges showed why he's number one.

And on this form, the more than two hundred thousand people set to walk through his door over the next month are in for an absolute treat.
